Well not really. Or at least not for awhile but this looks pretty cool!

Researchers switch to photons in race for faster microchip | Crave : The gadget blog
The new technology will still be silicon-based but will use photons rather than electrons to speed things up, according to a UT press release.

"This research is intended to produce a completely new class of components that could have a revolutionary impact on information engineering," Professor Duncan MacFarlane said. "The photonic integrated circuit (PIC) we're developing will be a versatile, programmable, scalable device that will process photonic signals and provide a sophisticated and practical interface with existing electronics."

You could've save a lot of time (and people) and just go an electric organ with a "choir" key.

Nah, they were for my guitar, and there was no choir key on it.

Heheheh, but the original link was about a new photonic (instead of electronic) chip. As in CPU... you know??? Nothing to do with effector pedals.

Besides effector pedals are a waste of time and money these days... There are multi-effect pedals with thousands of effects or just get a USB pedal controller and use Amplitube and you can design your own. Virtual stomp-boxes sound better than physical ones anyway... Lots less noise!
